Hi all. I received my new mirrors today. They're not installed yet but here are some initial pics...
Just outta the box
Brightness compared to factory tail light
Brightness compared to factory rear turn signal (a little hazy, but you get the point)
Although the stalks are shorter than stock, the mirrors will mount lower and I think will be just as wide as stock. Rear-view visibility might be fine as is, but if not I'll order some SW-Motech mirror wideners from Twisted Throttle.
The brightness certainly won't be an issue based on these comparisons. It will make a nice complement to the Protons, which although cool aren't as visible from the front as I would like.
Early days yet, but I think this will be a trick addition. I'll post more when I install them. Waiting for my Proton flush mounts before I start the install/wiring.
